building-simulink-models
Builds and edits Simulink, System Composer, Stateflow, and Simscape models. Use when modifying model structure, parameters, ports, connections, or Stateflow chart internals.
npx skills add matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit --skill building-simulink-models --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Building Models Use `model_edit` for all structural changes — Simulink, System Composer, Simscape, and Stateflow chart internals ## When to Use - Adding, connecting, deleting, or replacing blocks in a model - Configuring block parameters, signal properties, or model settings - Creating or editing Stateflow chart internals (states, transitions, junctions, data, events, messages, functions) - Building System Composer architecture models - Wiring Simscape physical connections ## When NOT to Use - Querying parameter values → use `model_query_params` - Resolving variable references to numeric values → use `model_resolve_params` ## Library & Policy Prerequisites — BLOCKING GATE **Do this FIRST — evaluate the result before any other tool call.** Do not narrate the gate check to the user; proceed silently based on the result. Call `library.settingsLookup()` to check for custom library configuration. It returns a struct with resolved absolute paths: - `found` — whether a libraries file was located (satk-libraries.json or legacy reuse-libraries.json) - `enabled` — whether custom libraries are configured - `gatePass` — whether the gate is satisfied (can proceed to build) - `kgIndexPath` — a

What does the building-simulink-models skill do?
Builds and edits Simulink, System Composer, Stateflow, and Simscape models. Use when modifying model structure, parameters, ports, connections, or Stateflow chart internals.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit --skill building-simulink-models --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From matlab/simulink-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 903 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
